Gretchen Whitmer: “Abortion is a constitutional right [in Michigan].”

“I want to thank my dear friend, Majority Leader Winnie Brinks, the first woman to hold that position, for her strong leadership that's helped make Michigan more fair and free. Thanks to the volunteers, the voters, and the work that we did together. Abortion is a constitutional right [in Michigan]. Women control their own bodies, lives and future in the state of Michigan. Thanks to our work, Black Michiganders can wear their hair natural without discrimination.” (45:25–45:28)
